The sole Barbados Airport is Grantley Adams International Airport (IATA Code: BGI), a modern Airport that has been awarded, on more than one occasion, the "Caribbean's Leading Airport" award at the prestigious World Travel Awards.

The Barbados Airport is situated in the south-east of the island, approximately 13km (8 miles) from the capital city of Bridgetown, and also serves as a hub for the islands of the Eastern Caribbean.

Grantley Adams International Airport was once a destination for the British Airways Concorde, which flew to Barbados weekly during the winter season. The Concorde fleet has now been retired and Barbados is proud to be the home to one of these magnificent aircraft.

Barbados is a tropical destination so be sure to bring applicable clothes. Bathing suits are best suited for the beach, beach bars and pools. Beach wear should also include sunglasses, sunblock and beach footwear.

Be aware that nudism is against the law and hence there are no nude beaches in Barbados. Also, to dress in camouflage or carry items made with camouflage material is strictly prohibited for both adults and children.
